About

I am a current student at Texas A&M University (College Station) pursuing a Bachelor's of Arts in English Literature and a minor in Business Administration. After graduation in December, I plan to pursue a Master's of Arts degree in English in order to teach English at the secondary/college level. Eventually I plan to obtain my Ph.D in English so and teach at a public university. I have devoted my free time to volunteering with multiple organizations that promote literacy, especially in urban communities. I believe that reading and writing allow each and every one of us to have a voice, which is a right that everyone deserves.
